What I said today. Right now it’s a normal Friday.
All those things that you kept saying “when I get the time”?

Yhey are going to creep out of the shadows and crevices and scream “NOW ITS OUR TURN!!!!!”

You’ll wonder how you were ever able to accomplish ANYTHING while you were employed 😂🤣

Good (Saturday) early arvo. Overnight Low of 15C and it's presently 25.6C, mostly overcast, calm and there was 13mm in the gauge at 0900.

Well, I wasn't going to mention it but today is one of those momentous days in my life that I thought I'd share it with my TBN Mates. Today (31st, NYE) is my 65th birthday and I'm surrounded by family & friends for the occasion... however, yesterday was my last day in the Royal Australian Navy (Reserve). All told, that's a bit over 47 years (Regular/Reserve) of Service.

Anyway, nothing is planned for today (glorious weather) apart from a restaurant dinner tonight and attempting to 'stay up' for midnight and the annual, worldwide, firework displays that mark the end of my BD.

That's about it, take care all and have a happy New Year.
Congratulations ^2!!!!!

47 outside this AM, heading to 60 with rains moving in this afternoon.

Don't need the water, but it is better than snow.

Did not get out yesterday, road was blocked due to a really bad accident.

Today, I plan on returning to the Milk House project. End the year doing something constructive. LOL.

Happy this year is over.

Happy New Year to the morning crew. May you all be blessed in the year to come with health, happiness and prosperity.

47 and dense fog...going to "only" 60 after 70 yesterday.

BEF, I bet you'll be happy and busy in retirement.

Wag, Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Mrs. Margaret!

Had a nice trip with the family over to Powhatan County to visit a craft brewery where my son knows the brewmaster. Nice place with a great trail to a crazy bed of rocks across the creek...1730s grist mill...had a tasty goat cheese pizza.

Morning all! Currently 43 going to lower 50's. 10 day forecast shows decent weather for temps but lots of rain.
Congrats BEF you will love it!
Happy Birthday to all celebrating!
Not much happening here. Did the monthly cleaning of the pellet stove and been playing in the wood shop. It was so warm I went out and visited the tractor yesterday and did a 15,000 mile service on the truck.
Plans for tonight are a quiet evening at home. Doubt I'll see the New year in. Tomorrow is lunch at my sister's with most of the local family attending!
Hope everyone is safe and healthy and has a Happy New Year!

Good morning all. 44 going to 54 with rain an the way

BEF, enjoy retirement. Not having to get on the road in the morning will be a nice change

Happy birthday Wag

Ordered 4 Battery Minders yesterday. Great deal from Northern Tool

Wishing all to have a great new 2023 year and hope for good health

Drew, recovering from dental surgery is never easy but hope you are not in too much pain

Picked up refill medication yesterday. Took forever with fill in personal at the pharmacy

Don, goat babies on the way!! They are so much fun. We had French Alpines and getting new ones was always very exciting

I have tried to fix my Stihl chainsaws but ready to give it up and buy a new one in 2023

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE

Don, why the high skinny rice tires on that Kubota?
what is it normally used for?
would think the ride would be pretty stiff, like thin wall high performance tires]]
The narrow and tall tires are often used in truck gardening. They can travel between the rows with less damage to the plants and the height helps with the undercarriage clearance to the taller vegetable plants.
